WOW! Imagine that, South Dakota’s second largest city has a little compassion for their citizens;
“We understand that times are tough and everyone needs to tighten the purse strings as much as possible, and I think the city government is no exception,” Rapid City Mayor Alan Hanks said.
Can you pass that message on to King Dave?
Sioux Falls will collect 3 percent more in property taxes next year after the City Council on Monday approved the maximum annual increase allowed by state law.
And guess who was the only councilor to vote against this increase was?
Councilor Kermit Staggers proposed an amendment to not take the 3 percent increase, but it failed to get support.
Once again, the Sioux Falls city council proves how out of touch they are with the general public by approving this increase.
